• Bashkirtseff
Born Maria Konstantinovna Bashkirtseva in Gavrontsi near Poltava, to a
wealthy noble family, she grew up abroad, traveling with her mother across
most of Europe. Educated privately, she studied painting in France at the
Académie Julian, one of the few establishments that accepted female
students. The Académie attracted young women from all over Europe and
the United States. One fellow student was Louise Breslau, who Bashkirtseff
viewed as her only rival. Bashkirtseff would go on to produce a remarkable
body of work in her short lifetime, the most famous being the portrait of Paris
slum children titled The Meeting and In the Studio, (shown here) a portrait of
her fellow artists at work. Unfortunately, a large number of Bashkirtseff's
works were destroyed by the Nazi's during World War II.
• From the age of 13, Bashkirtseff began keeping a journal, and it is for this that
she is most famous. Her personal account of the struggles of women artists is
documented in her published journals, which are a revealing story of the
bourgeoisie. Titled, I Am the Most Interesting Book of All, her popular diary is
still in print today. The diary was cited by an American contemporary, Mary
MacLane, whose own shockingly confessional diary drew inspiration from
Bashkirtseff's. Her letters, consisting of her correspondence with the writer
Guy de Maupassant, were published in 1891.
• Dying of tuberculosis at the age of 25, Bashkirtseff lived just long enough to
become an intellectual powerhouse in Paris in the 1880s. A feminist, in
1881, using the nom de plume "Pauline Orrel," she wrote several articles for
Hubertine Auclert's feminist newspaper, La Citoyenne. One of her famous
quotes is: Let us love dogs, let us love only dogs! Men and cats are unworthy
creatures.
• She is buried in Cimetière de Passy, Paris, France. Her monument is a full-
sized artist studio that has been declared a historic monument by the
government of France.

• Until recently the accepted date of Bashkirtseff's birth was November 11 [Nov. 23, New
Style+, 1860. However, after the discovery of the original manuscript of Bashkirtseff‘s diary
in the Bibliothèque nationale de France, it was found that her diary had been abridged
and censored by her family. Her date of birth (1858 not 1860) was also falsified by her
mother. The unabridged edition of the diary, based on the original manuscript, was
published in France in 16 volumes, and excerpts (years 1873-1876) translated into English
(see Reference).
• I was born the 11th [elsewhere given as the 12th of November, 1859. Actually born
November 12, 1858, by the Russian calendar; November 24, 1858, by the Gregorian
calendar, which is twelve days ahead of the Russian. The family celebrated her birthday
each year on the day they claimed she would have been born if she had been a full-term
baby— January 12 by the Russian calendar, January 24 by the western calendar. She learns
later—in Book 83, December 29, 1878—from her father (but does not apparently accept
his statement, as she ignores it here in her preface) that she was a full-term
baby, suggesting that she was conceived before her parents had married and that all the
mystification about her date of birth was intended to cover up that embarrassment.] It's
horrifying just to write it, but I console myself by thinking that I certainly will not have any
age when you read me.

36. • Look at this painting! It illustrates the rootedness of Russian Orthodoxy. Greek Orthodoxy (and the other smaller groups, too) is rooted just as solidly.
Russian Orthodoxy has always been more “multi-cultural” than any other expression of Orthodoxy. Many peoples, many languages, and many
expressions of faith are found within it. Can you believe that the Syosset apparat is passing the lie that the MP is going to dismiss all American-born
priests? What utter delusion and prelest! Which would you want to belong to? A world-wide, powerful, and vibrant Church of many nationalities or
to an impotent sect that limits itself to one ethnos and one region?

the best traditions of Russian and West European realistic art; whereas her pure and
crystal-clear talent was inherited from the famous artistic dynasty of the Lanceray-Benois
that she belonged to. Her all-embracing love of art and her native land with its infinite
expanses and simple people from times immemorial living and working on it, determined
the spiritual essence of the creative path of this outstanding artist.
